The Pitch Diameter Offset is the difference between Major and Minor, no other math is factored in, as Fusion automatically divides by 2 for you.

Major: 6

minor: 5

PDO: 1mm

 

Your stepovers are calculated back from your (background calculated) Pitch diameter offset. It will only give you as many passes are possible before the toolpath collapses in on itself. There will be a warning if you've defined more passes than are possible, but the toolpath will still run with as many passes as it can fit
